Thanks TOGWT... So straight away then ?! That means as soon as I get it home (a drive of around 45 miles) I can give it a gentle wash (to remove any muck I've picked up on the way home) and then start detailing with my SG topped with P21S!! Then straight into the garage so as not to spoil it !! :P :P :P Hopefully since the paint finish will be flawless I will have a very good base to start on and I'm hoping the results will be awesome !!

Hi all, I have read this forum with interest and have a quick question for you paint guru's out there. I am shortly due to pick up my brand new GS300 (in black) on March 1st. I am a bit of a detailing fanatic and have the usual armoury of Klasse AIO, Sealer Glaze, P21S, Porter Cable, Microfiber towels, Lambswool wash mit and more Sonus products than you can shake a stick at but my question is this..... After picking up my new pride and joy how long would I have to wait (for paint out gassing maybe) before I can get to work and get some protection on my new baby? Since the car would have been painted a while ago (before it left the factory in Japan) and then had the journey over to the dealers is it safe to apply products straight away or should I give it 30 - 90 days? I've seen the thread about how long to wait on a newly painted car i.e a re-sprayed car but this is obviously not the same as a brand new manufactures paint finish. I would like to get some Klasse and canuba on there as soon as possible as I'm paranoid about not using protection !! :P :P :P Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else but any help much appreciated.. Thanks guys - great forum The Ed
